  • Heat a Dutch oven or stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and sausage in the hot pot until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease, reserving 2 tablespoons.
  • Add onion and bell peppers to the same pot with meat drippings. Saute over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until all vegetables are slightly softened and fragrant, being careful not to burn, about 1 minute more. Pour in beef broth, diced tomatoes, cabbage, and carrots.
  • Combine tomato sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, tarragon, and Worcestershire in a separate bowl. Stir until sugar is dissolved and add to the pot along with red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat and let simmer until cabbage is cooked and flavors have melded, about 45 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve.
